National and Local Symbols

Phi Sigma Sigma was founded at
Hunters College in New York, New York on November 26, 1913. Our
Founders aimed to establish a sorority in which a membership was not based on
one's social status, religious affiliation, or personal background.
Open membership to all women of character regardless of their
background. On November 26, 1913 the first nonsectarian sorority was
born. Collegiate and Alumnae members around the world to this day live
by our Founder's inspiration and Phi Sigma Sigma's Core Values: lifelong
learning, inclusiveness, and leadership through service.
